Labour legislator David Lammy says Thursday’s national vote was non-binding and “our sovereign Parliament needs to now vote on whether we should quit the EU.”

Wake up. We do not have to do this. We can stop this madness through a vote in Parliament. My statement below

Does this low-brow not remember that he lives in a Monarchy? It ain't Parliament that is sovereign.
It was a bigger win (by percentage) than Obamas reelection win over Romney. The leftist media in the USA was crowing about how it was a huge Obama mandate (winning by only 2.7%).
Popular vote 2012:
Obama - 51.38%
Romney - 48.61%
There was a person very familiar with british law on a previous thread. He said they cannot ignore the referendum. He said this is exactly where the monarchy keeps the system in check. She can , at will, call the a dissolution of the govt any time and call for a new election. While rarely done it would be done in a case like this where the integrity of their democracy is at stake.
I doubt that, but I could be wrong, got a link?
Ignore the referendum voted upon by millions of people?
Sounds like a good way to get your head cut off.
Who don't want to lose control over their perks, big salarys, even bigger bribes, Chablis and brie parties at someones estate on the weekends and ongoing membership in the international good old boys clubs of the world. Damn the Plebs, Let them eat $h..t.
Indeed. Democracy only matters to some when it goes their way, falling back to dictating.
Spot on their time is up to much damage has been done by them.
Globalism is like living in a commune only the slackers win.
Hmmm ... This sounds like what the Never Trumps want to do at the RNC. Time to bring pitchforks and hot tar.
This is truth: some people really have a hard time understanding democracy or “we the people”
Pat Condell laid it out clearly what the vote was really over.

Bread & Circuses, effectively. Except that the elephant trampled the VIP seats, rather than general admission section.
One of Idi Amin Dada’s sons?
Lame Lammy!
This is exactly how the EU works: no votes for the proles.
The People be damned!
My British friends say that the Queen is a Constitutionalist above all (certainly above any affinity for the EU. They all say she would dissolve Parliament if the referendum is ignored.
I love the smell of totalitarianism in the morning, smells like, slavery.
another politician that no use for Voters
Sounds a lot like Team Cruz...
Just sayin’
